"fare badly" and "leave ahead"

Hi,

I've these 2 phrases that I don't understand quite.

"However, his Socialist government is expected to fare badly in Sunday's local and regional elections."

What does it mean "fare badly"? Is it suffer?

"Spain's electoral commission had ordered them to leave ahead of local elections on Sunday. "

What does it mean "leave ahead"?

Thanks,

PSC
